Pink Floyd is the first that springs to mind

Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
Well, Close To The Edge is better than Fragile......I think Selling England is better than Foxtrot.... and after Aqualung, all the greatest Tull albums occurred....
The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan
and probably King Crimson too.
Cast.
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
Phideaux - not to disparage his early work but the last three stand well above the earlier releases: Doomsday Afternoon, Number 7, Snowtorch and to a lesser extent The Great Leap.
I also agree with Yes: Close to the Edge, Tales, Relayer, Going for the One - I prefer all of these to the first four releases.
Zappa: although Absolutely Free is great, MOI would do better with Uncle Meat and Burnt Weeny Sandwich and he'd do much better things afterward like Roxy, One Size, Zappa in NY, and on and on.

Rush
Marillion
Toto
Billy Joel
...to name a few.

Beatles?
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Agree with Phideaux.
Also, IQ took a giant step forward with Subterranea, and are now better than "Ever".
King Crimson only got really good starting with the fifth.
(LTiA, that is, not Earthbound.)
Genesis with Gabriel
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
Glass Hammer are a pretty obvious one I'd say

Two words: Tangerine Dream. Starting with Phaedra, the previous four albums felt like a warm-up.
Zeit (#3) is still my favorite by a mile.
